How to create an URL shortcut for Linux in Python?

Question

As you see in the question, I am trying to create an URL shortcut in Python for both Windows and Linux.

Windows shortcut is working, this is my code if somebody needs it :

import os

target = "www.google.com"
with open(os.path.join(shortcut_path, "windows_shortcut.url"), "w") as f:
   f.write('[InternetShortcut]\n')
   f.write('URL=%s' % target)

But for Linux it is an other problem and I can't find any solution which is working for me with google.

This is what I tried :

import os

target = "www.google.com"
with open(os.path.join(shortcut_path, "linux_shortcut.url"), "w") as f:
    f.write("""[Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Link to google              
    Type=Link
    URL=%s
    Icon=text-html
    Name[en_US]=commit""" % target)

Thanks for your time
